Who knows! I always find myself in the crowds of Suzhou and Hangzhou 🤯, but it wasn't until I stumbled upon Dongtai that I realized all the treasures of Jiangsu are hidden here! It's half the salty, fresh waves of the Yellow Sea 🌬️, half the bustling, scholarly atmosphere of the ancient town 📖. Crucially, it's less crowded, beautiful, and the food is so delicious you'll stomp your feet! ✨ 🌊 A healing moment by the sea, hidden within a World Heritage site You must visit the Tiaozini Wetlands! After low tide, the vast mudflats become a vast canvas 🎨. Step onto the soft mud and catch clams and crabs 🦀, and you're guaranteed to find them. In the evening, watch the Yellow Sea sunset 🌇, as the sun, like salted egg yolk, sinks into the water, and even the wind becomes gentle. For some peace and quiet, head to the Dragon King Ancient Temple. The 38-meter-long, gilded reclining Buddha is breathtaking 🙏. Listen to the morning bells and enjoy a 10-element vegetarian meal 🥢.
